Aladdin – Wednesday 15th May at the Milton Keynes Theatre

We are delighted to inform you that we have secured tickets to see a matinee performance of Aladdin at the Milton Keynes theatre on the afternoon of Wednesday 15th May 2024.

This trip will run as an enrichment opportunity for all students, though will be of particular interest to those students who are intending to be involved in our production of Aladdin later in the year.

We will be leaving school at 1.00pm and travelling by minibus to Milton Keynes. Students will have their lunch in school before we leave. Please order a lunch as usual if your child has school dinners. We will arrive back at The Valley at approximately 6.15pm, traffic allowing. Your child will need to be collected from school at this time.

Please see further information about the production by following the link below:

The subsidised cost of this trip will be £10.00 (£5.00 for those students in receipt of Free School Meals).

In order to secure a place on this trip, you will need to give consent via Arbor for your child to attend, confirming your child will be collected at 6.15pm from school and have paid in full.

All consent/payment must be received by Friday 22nd March.

We hope as many students as possible will be able to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to see a professional production of Aladdin. If we have more students than the fifty tickets allocated, wanting to go, we will try to secure additional tickets. If these are unavailable the students will be selected through a lottery to ensure the process is as fair as possible.

Teddy Visits Teal Class

Teddy, Ms Flynn’s 2.5 year old Cockapoo visited The Valley School on Wednesday.  He spent most of his time in the Year 9 area and Teal class. All of the children were fantastic and so caring and kind to Teddy and he is now an honouree member of Teal class.  Teddy had a calming effect on the children and was a lovely addition to the class; the children have already been asking when he can come back.

Making Milkshakes in Food Technology

Students used blenders to make their own milkshakes and were amazed at how easy is was to make their own one at home.

Buying and Selling in Year 10 Maths

During their Year 10 Maths lesson, students have been practising buying and selling things from their ‘mock’ shop.  Lewis showed me how he worked out how much money he had to spend and whether he had received the right amount of change.
